The heart of Nashoba

At the heart of the "Praying Indian" village of Nashoba were four lakes: Nagog Pond, Grassy Pond, Fort Pond, and Long Pond. These were the most sacred places, located today in northern Acton and southern Littleton. In all the undisturbed woods around these ponds there are still rock piles today. The landscape may still be a little as the Indians left it.

This photo shows a quartz-on-rock structure at the northern edge of Long Pond. Quartz is rarely used this way and, when it is, it is thought [by me anyway] to function as a focusing of energy outward. There was another rock-on-rock back aways along with a few other placed rocks leading up to this final structure at the edge of the water.

Rumor has it that a non-Indian was trying to perform ceremonies in this vicinity. Perhaps the rareness of such quartz-on-rock is correct and these are not just anomalies but actually are fake.
